the da vinci code movie spoiler, yell this to the people waiting to get in to the next show Options

[ZacMan1987]

I can see this one heating up pretty quick. Personally, I do believe the Bible to be the infalable word of God, but anyways: the movie.

All historical liberties, half truths, and such aside, it was a good movie, but like everyone has said before, it's difficult if not impossible to cram everything significant from the book into a 2.5 hour movie.

I thought the CGI and overlaying was very interesting and wouldn't have expected it in a movie like this one. It was an interesting spin on "getting inside of the actors' heads." Something that can be hard to do in a movie a lot of the time. All in all, worth your $$

[Jaws4God]

I can understand why people don't want the Bible to be truth, cuz that would mean their are consequences to their life.

But just because some don't believe it to be fact doesn't make it not truth. :-)

It is interesting to see the mixed opinions of the movie.. not sure if it was overal good or bad?

[saleeka]

According to the bible, it's an abomination to eat shellfish. Therefore, all us on this board who have eaten shrimp are going to burn in hell, just like the rest of us sinners... I hate to disagree (not with it's principles), but the Bible is meant to be taken with a grain of salt...

[forkee]

omg u guys jacked my thread!!

just for that....

tom hanks is one of the mary magdalene knights and the chick is the last living bloodline. oh and mary magdalene's sarcophagus is hidden beneath the glass pyramid museum.

i wasnt gonna really spoil it but 2 pages??? bastards.....

does this movie need those screens that say "this movie was meant for entertainment purposes only. any similarities existing is purely coincidental."?

think of "National Treasure" featuring Nicholas Cage. It's pretty similar to that with all the treasure hunting. In fact, National Treasure was waaay better in my opinion.

if u guys are gonna start a bible battle, post a new thread please

[j0e_p3t]

i'm a catholic. i think religion is based on faith, not facts. however, its a fact that jesus christ was an actual person. he's in history books and everything. the davinci code is historical fiction. just theories based on actual facts. the thing about the painting of the last supper is true, but its not an actual photo of the last supper. so its just a perpective of one man. don't believe everything you read or see on tv.

[Jaws4God]

Whats funny is that they say this code is fiction based on historical facts... however they didn't do good research,

for example they talk about the vatican in 300AD yet it its origins are traced only to 600AD. Plus the book constantly talks about "this is purely speculation" then later say "based on that, this must be true" LOL


so compared (movie wise) to National Treasure, this is worse?

[Shocker]

i plead the 5th...on where i stand

[Supersprynt]

First of all, let me say this: ITS A FICTIONAL STORY AND MOVIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its facts mixed with fiction - like the bible.

Ahh Hemmm......the Bible......all facts

No man, its not. And its people like you who sadly have the bible mixed up with text books. It didnt rain for 40 days and 40 nights, adam and eve didnt pop up from the ground and have 2 sons who miraculously had children with whom...The bible takes SOME fact and mixes with ALOT of fiction to form something that 2000 years ago was accepted as good behavior and a way of life. Today, if follow the bible you'll be locked up with what it says. If you believe the bible to be 100% truth then you can NOT pick and choose what you will follow and this is a major mistake. Its nice to be able to say "thou shalt not steal" which is fine and then say oh well we're not going to stone our children for misbehaving.

Its facts mixed with fiction - like the bible.

Ahh Hemmm......the Bible......all facts

you cannot claim something to be a fact based on "faith" alone. the correct response to this would be that you *think* it is all factual, when in reality it is not.

Nothing in the Bible has been disproven, so the scientific method shows that its fact unless it can be proven wrong. :-D

This is 100% WRONG. And most devout catholics believe this. Science doesnt go out to disprove anything. Theories are made based on FACTS and then those theories are test in the real world. It just so happens, its impossile to disprove imaginary beings and heaven and hell. I'm very sorry that you dont know what the scientific method is, and most other catholics you arent going to sit there and re-evaluate what your truth is because your too scared to realize the real truth, we're here alone and there is no god up in heaven controlling the universe with his "plan." Sorry to say buddy but your following a fictional book just like the Da Vinci Code. There was no huge ark - they did not have the means to build that boat and have it actually float back in that time not to mention getting 2 of each animal on the planet. Considering there are millions of animal species the boat would probaby be the size of texas. But you continue to tell me that the bible is facts and that god ordered the killing of the first born children in egypt because of 1 pharoahs' imaginary enslaving of the jewish people, which also has no factual basis to it. I honestly dont understand how someone can actually sit down and think for themselves for a little bit instead of what has been driven into their brain when theyre growing up and say yeah, there is an all powerful god there is an all knowing god and sure he lets millions of people get slaughtered in his name, take money from the poor in his name and come away a believer.

My rants over. This topic gets me so heated its ridiculous. If I offended you, its probably inevitable and your going to have to deal with being offended when debating like this. I dont get offended if you criticize evolution (oh wait that didnt happen, and david copperfield makes the statue of liberty disappear).

who is saying that the Da Vinci Code is factual? I said that it contains facts. You cannot deny that some of the things in the book are facts. Im not in any way saying the book is true.

[j0e_p3t]

they did not have the means to build that boat and have it actually float back in that time

just like how they didn't have the means to build pyramids and the great wall of china? i'm not saying noah's ark is true. but its not ridiculously hard to believe either. religion is all about having faith in what you believe in. and if there is no god in heaven, then why do so many of us in this forum ask for prayers when people they care about are sick or dying or even dead?

[snapshotgt]

To each his own. This thread will go nowhere.

Heres your first mistake, YOU decided to compare a gigantic boat to creating inanimate buildings. I did not do that, I dont know why your making comparisons between things that you can go see and touch to something that doesnt exist. Your argument is absolutely pointless to make. Do I even have to get into the fact that animals need to eat and go to the bathroom? The disease, malnutrition and plain old stentch of that boat isnt even given a thought. What logic lies behind faith?

And your 100% correct, religion is based on faith. Not evidence. If people of faith want to argue in the realm of science, then argue with evidence.

Finally - you cannot prove the existence of god by saying people ask for prayers. What kind of argument is that? The 4 or 5 threads that exist with people asking for support means exactly what in the real world of facts & evidence? It means nothing and this type of argument is not true or valid.

If people want to debate this I'm fine with it, however learn to do so in a manner which actually holds up.

You cannot argue a point with "well these ppl believe, so it must be true."
You cannot argue "its not disproven so it must be true."

But your right, this will go no where.

[presure2]

can really argue with a guy who has a big "jesus" sticker on the side of his car.

[MaX]

First of all, let me say this: ITS A FICTIONAL STORY AND MOVIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

exactly,

and all this fuss that the vatican is on about, what have they got to hide by this movie being released.

I liked the movie, very noticable differences, but they couldn't do the whole book in a movie less than 5-6hrs long

everyone is going to have an opinion, and each to their own.

i wonder if they'll make anymore of dan browns books into films

i'd like to see them make angels and demons. i liked that book a lot.

Yeah my point exactly. Nobody who honestly believes in that stuff can sit and have a legitimate argument because theres really no argument FOR the book/belief. So instead excuses like what he said are used, and stuff like "god has a plan." Whats his plan? To alienate all his believers with death dying and destruction. Oh wait thats the devil. Well if god is all knowing and all powerful he would have known prior to the devil that it was going to happen and could have saved the world from all that. Should I keep going?

Way off topic but as soon as this thread was made it was inevitable. But spanish in france? I never heard spanish in the movie.

no.
lets just let this thread die.

[FAQdaWorld]

Spanish and french are based upon the same language (latin i believe right?) so they are very similar in sound and in some ways makeup, as is italian to a point.

Silas- the albino spoke Spanish.
THe movie didnt get into him too much. His father was a drunk and beat his mother and blamed her for having an albino child- one night the father killed the mother he beat her so badly. So Silas ended up stabbing his father to death. Then he runs away but gets made fun of by everyone because he is an albino. He gets into some trouble ends up in jail. There is some kind of earthquake and he flees the jail and ends up being nursed back to health by Bishop Aringarosa in Spain. That is why he speaks spanish.
